Not optimal–
They knew the terror group behind the attack before the ambassador’s body was found in the ruins.
They located Ambassador Stevens’ body hours later at the hospital.

Libyans dragged the body of US Ambassador Christopher Stevens out of the compound after his murder. Al- AhramThe Obama Administration knew an Al-Qaeda linked terror
group took credit for the Benghazi attack before the ambassador’s body
was even discovered!
The State Department watched the attack in real time.Yet, for weeks they said it was a protest!Reuters reported, via Free Republic:

Officials at the White House and State Department were
advised two hours after attackers assaulted the U.S. diplomatic mission
in Benghazi, Libya, on September 11 that an Islamic militant group had
claimed credit for the attack, official emails show.
The emails, obtained by Reuters from government sources not
connected with U.S. spy agencies or the State Department and who
requested anonymity, specifically mention that the Libyan group called
Ansar al-Sharia had asserted responsibility for the attacks.
The brief emails also show how U.S. diplomats described the attack, even as it was still under way, to Washington.
U.S. Ambassador Christopher Stevens and three other Americans were
killed in the Benghazi assault, which President Barack Obama and other
U.S. officials ultimately acknowledged was a “terrorist” attack carried
out by militants with suspected links to al Qaeda affiliates or
sympathizers.
Administration spokesmen, including White House spokesman Jay
Carney, citing an unclassified assessment prepared by the CIA,
maintained for days that the attacks likely were a spontaneous protest
against an anti-Muslim film.

More… Greta Van Susteren reported that there were US troops in Italy about an hours flight away from Benghazi but they were never called in to help.

I'm really interested to see how this one plays out in the press. I was watching Greta Van Sustern last night and she was the first one who broke the story on FOX. My bet is American Pravda will largely ignore it. So far Yahoo is pretending it doesn't exist.
